Accidental changes in glucometer settings can cause some patients to misinterpret their blood glucose readings

July 2005

Accidental changes in glucometer settings can cause some patients to misinterpret their blood glucose readings.

Many glucometers allow users to set the units as mg/dL or mmol/L. We use mg/dL in the U.S...many other countries use mmol/L.

Some LifeScan meters change when the date and time is set... or if the meter's dropped and loses power.
